Ye Shikai walked in and carefully "examined" it. This giant beast was truly enormous, even lying on the ground, it was two heads taller than Ye Shikai. If it stood up, Ye Shikai wouldn’t even reach its legs. Although he had never seen such a creature before, Ye Shikai felt the giant beast resembled many legends of the "Qilin." Even though this divine beast was unseen by anyone, Ye Shikai didn’t know much about it, but Luo Shiqi had once given him a pendant shaped like a Qilin, and the design on it was about seventy percent similar to the giant beast before him.
On the Holy Mountain, there were various strange creatures that they had never seen, but Ye Shikai had seen quite a few. Qilins in Huaxia were always regarded as divine beasts, representing auspiciousness and majesty, so many people crafted decorations in the shape of Qilins.
Roar roar.
Suddenly, the giant beast moved its body, appearing to have woken up. Ye Shikai stepped back two paces as the giant beast stretched its limbs, resembling soone stretching after waking, appearing sowhat adorable, like... a giant-sized cat.
Ye Shikai sat quietly nearby. Unlike others, he didn’t fear the giant beast. If it truly wanted to eat Ye Shikai, he would’ve already beco a "delicious al" within the beast’s belly. Moreover, given his current physical condition, there’s no way he could escape.
The giant beast also noticed Ye Shikai beside it, their gazes t, with big eyes staring at little eyes, looking sowhat amusing.
As Ye Shikai expected, the giant beast didn’t attack him but instead circled around him, seemingly observing sothing.
"What exactly is it looking at?" Ye Shikai was very curious. Could there be sothing special about him that attracted this giant beast?
Ye Shikai glanced around. After leaving this cave, above was the mountain peak, and below was the abyss. When he was unconscious, he should’ve been in the plains, aning this giant beast brought him up here.
But why did it do this?
Suddenly, the giant beast leaped up, climbing the cliff directly to reach the mountain’s summit. Ye Shikai was quite curious and followed the path up. Speaking of which, his steps were sowhat weak, and he felt a bit hungry, which wasn’t surprising. Every ti he experienced Demon Addiction, he rested well with a feast for several days to recover. This ti was different; since ascending the Holy Mountain, he hadn’t eaten much.
Upon reaching the summit, almost the entire Holy Mountain ca into full view.
"So beautiful." Ye Shikai murmured as he gazed at the scenery before him. He had co to the Holy Mountain many tis but never seen it like today. Co to think of it, this should be the highest point of the Holy Mountain, but why had Ye Shikai never heard of it? Not even Ji Qian had ntioned such a place to him.
At this mont, the sky gradually darkened. Ye Shikai looked up; not knowing from where, dark clouds floated in, enveloping his head—no, it enveloped the entire Holy Mountain. Just monts ago, the sun was shining brightly, but within a few minutes, the sky turned dark, sand flew and stones rolled...
"It’s about to rain." Ye Shikai shielded his eyes with his hand as the strong wind blew, almost getting dust into his eyes. If his clothes got wet, he wouldn’t have another to change into, so he could only hide in the cave.
Roar roar.
Suddenly, the giant beast leaped and blocked Ye Shikai’s retreat. The clouds gathered in the sky—there’s going to be a heavy rain...
"Hey, can you understand ? I’m going to hide from the rain." Ye Shikai shouted loudly, using body language, but the giant beast remained motionless. Its size was too large, directly "blocking" the mountain path.
Crash.
Suddenly, thunder rumbled, and a bolt of lightning struck the mountain top, not far from Ye Shikai, startling him. Was this for real? Even for cultivators, getting struck by lightning might directly turn one into "charcoal."
Crash, crash.
Several more bolts of lightning struck, all targeting the mountain top. Ye Shikai began to doubt if there was a lightning rod here, attracting so much lightning.
Being struck isn’t fun. Ye Shikai wanted to quickly go down but was blocked by the giant beast.
"I won’t repeat myself; make way for ." Ye Shikai tried to say sothing harsh but to no avail. He was helpless. Such a big bulk felt like a wall, but he soon realized that the lightning seed unable to hit him, which relieved him. After all, getting struck by lightning is a "rare event," plus, above him was this giant beast’s cover.
The lightning soon ended, and Ye Shikai breathed a sigh of relief. The clouds above slowly dispersed, but Ye Shikai was stunned by the strange scene above. The clouds did disperse, but only the section above his head revealed and it wasn’t sunlight but... a blood-red sky, like an apocalyptic scene...
Ye Shikai even wondered if the sky would rain "blood rain."
"What is this, so dazzling." Suddenly, a red light descended from the sky, landing not far from Ye Shikai. The red light was so bright that it made his eyes ache. This brightness was probably visible to everyone on the Holy Mountain.
"What’s happening..." Before Ye Shikai could finish speaking, the red light fell on him. He felt like a huge force was dragging him into the air, a powerful energy seed to be tearing at every cell in his body. Before he could scream, he had already passed out.
.....................................
"What’s going on." On the other side of the Holy Mountain, Wang Kai, Athena, and Emily also noticed the anomaly of the Holy Mountain. The sky suddenly darkened, which wasn’t normal. Also, there was a strong flash of light just now. Even though it was more than ten kiloters away, the three could see it clearly.
"I’m not sure either. This Holy Mountain is just too weird. Never mind, let’s get down first." Athena said. The three were thirsty and hungry, and now they needed to quickly descend the mountain, leave the relic, and then return with subordinates and lots of supplies to re-enter the relic. This way, even if they searched for ten days straight, finding the next relic opening wouldn’t be an issue.
Roar roar.
Suddenly, a giant roar ca from the air, the sound was loud, like a tiger’s roar or dragon’s roar, startling the three.
"That’s the sound of the giant beast." Emily shouted excitedly, "I didn’t mistake it; the beast that took Hades, this is the sound."
"Are you sure about that?" Wang Kai said, "If we find that giant beast, maybe we can find Old Ye again."
"Then what are we waiting for, let’s go quickly." Athena rushed out with excitent. For cultivators, a dozen miles of mountain road is just a twenty-minute journey.
